The Broward Sheriff's Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration weren't exactly "Beliebers" when they made a decision to search pop star Justin Bieber and his entourage for drugs at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

It happened Friday after the Broward Sheriff's Office got a tip that the DEA had passed along.

An anonymous caller said "in the entourage that Bieber was traveling with Friday night at Fort Lauderdale's airport, there would be some kind of substance in one of their bags," sheriff's spokeswoman Gina Carter said.

Deputies with drug-sniffing dogs met the Canadian-born singer, 19, and his entourage. Deputies searched their luggage and vehicles, but nothing was found, she said.
